Dragon Quest delay to affect Final Fantasy XIII?

More Info

Square Enix has conceded that the delay of DS title Dragon Quest IX may affect the launch of the publisher’s hotly anticipated Final Fantasy XIII in Japan.

"Presently, I cannot say what kind of effect we will experience from moving the Dragon Quest IX launch from March to July. I cannot say there won't be an effect," said CEO and President, Yoichi Wada.

"There is a possibility that Dragon Quest IX delay could affect Final Fantasy XIII,” added Wada.

Final Fantasy XIII is currently pencilled in for a 2009 release in Japan, though western territories won’t be getting their hands on it until some time next year. Let’s hope the project doesn’t experience further delays.
